~By Alex Chiu ~
One of the reasons why when Elvis dies or the Son of Sam is captured ABC News' ratings go up is because people who don't normally watch news are watching then. The question is, do you want to attract people who don't watch network news or fight over the people who do?
~By Roone Arledge ~
I think the idea of creating a television news source that is not beholden to corporate interests is nirvana.
~By Phil Donahue ~

~By Thomas Jefferson ~
There should be a background check every time a firearm is transferred. You shouldn't be able to go to a gun show and buy guns without a background check. There are Internet gun sales, classified ads in the newspapers - and you can buy guns without background checks.
~By Michael D. Barnes ~
My reputation was a bit exaggerated. Things were written in newspapers, then copied, then doubled. One of the reasons why I never disclaimed that, was because I found it amusing. But I also constructed such an image for myself in order to gain more of a private life.
~By Thomas Kretschmann ~
Local television news, on both radio and television, is so appalling. Makes print journalism look like the greatest stuff ever written.

~By Joshua Lederberg ~

~By David Talbot ~
Fashion is treated too much as news rather than what it is, what it does and how it performs.
~By Geoffrey Beene ~
Lord of the Rings was something I always wanted to do. I read the book when I was about 25, and I was always hoping if it was ever made into a feature film that I would be involved in some way. And then I finally got it, and I was over the moon. It was fantastic news.
~By Sean Bean ~

~By Ralph W. Sockman ~
My point is cutting spending shouldn't be reliant on the debt limit though. It's something we have to do. The good news for America is, leaders in both parties, the president, believe that we have to have significant deficit reduction. So the intent is there. And I think what America is going to demand is that our leaders come together.
~By David Plouffe ~
I want the news delivered unbiased. I thought that was the whole point with journalism.
